A Pretty State of Things In Indiana's
Legislature.
The Senate Refuses to Hear the Gov.
O." ernor Read His Message.
A Possibility of Long and Disgrace
full Squabble-

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. THE State
Senate, this morning, reconsidered its reso-
luton OF yesterday to meet with the House
to hear the Governors message read, and the
message was read by the clerk Of the Senate.
This afternoon the Democratic majority Of
the Senate passed a resolution declaring
there was no vacancy in the Office Of Lieu
tenant Governor, declining to go into joint
session for the purpose of canvassing and
declaring the result of the vote at the No.
vember election and adjourned until Tues
day. The day appointed for canvassing and
announcing the vote for Lieutenant Governor
is Monday. In the House today the Repub-
lican majority, in retaliation for the extraOr-
dinary rules adopted by the Senate, adopted
q set OF regulations fully as arbitrary as
those OF the upper body. The effect In either
house will be that the majority can summar-
lily and quickly unseat any member of the
minority rightfully or wrongfully. The
Governors message, owing to the refusal of
the Senate to participate in joint session, was
laid on the table without reading, and the
House adjourned until Monday.
1t is now understood that the speaker of
the House win on Monday declare and pub
lish the result of the election for Lieutenant
Governor. and that when the Senate assem-
bles on Tuesday he will appear and assert
His claim viii be denied, and what course
he will take Is as yet a matter Of conjecture.
Quo warranto proceedings are suggested, and
also the possibility Of two legislatures.
Before the last November election the
Democratic Lieutenant Governor of Indiana
resigned to accept federal Office. The
Democratic Attorney General decided that a
new Lieutenant Governor might be voted for
and elected at the November election. Both
parties put up candidates, and the Republican
was elected. But now the Democratic Gov
ernor Gray wants to 60 to the Senate. This
would leave the recently elected Republican
Lieutenant Governor the Governor Of In
diana. The Democrats, to avoid this result,
are now contending that the election which
their own attorney general advised, and
which they joined in, was Illegal On this
assumption they are contesting the right of
the Lieutenant. Governor to his seat.-ED.l

At about $50 p. M, standard time, Jan. 8,
we saw low down in the southwestern sky,
what looked very much like the headlight Of
locomotive miles away on western prai-
rie. As it rose higher we noticed a luminous
tail, which heightened, until when the mys-
terious visitor was directly overhead it was
apparently about 120 in length, and the head
or nucleus apparently seemed as large as a
good-sized pumpkin and wonderfully bril-
liant. 1t made no sound that we heard, as it
blaZed steadily athwart the sky, apparently
without increasing or diminishing its dis
tance from the earth, for about fifty seconds,
until it finally disappeared in the hazy north
east. II afforded a magnificent spectacle,
such as is not often seen.
